Flush Gas Cap & Gauge..
« on: July 17, 2008, 02:56:12 AM »
Has anyone fitted the flush fuel gauge and cap from the '08 Rocker to their Deuce? I read on another thread that this is possible, but I haven't seen anyone say that they have actually done it.

Thanks

I'll have to take a close look at a Rocker to see what they look like. I would imagine you'd want the matching gas cap too.

The standard Rocker setup (62811-08) fits fine and looks great. I installed it on my 04 CVO Deuce. The only issue I had was it was a bit hard to press down onto the gauge to turn/lock it down inside the tank. It wasn't an issue of the Deuce tank vs. the Rocker tank but I guess just poor HD quality fit overall between the 2 pieces. Nonetheless, it fit and locked down fine with some persuasion. The blue LEDs are really bright and as best as I can tell, are quite accurate and no worse than the analog gauge it replaced.

Finally had some time to shoot and upload.

For those who 'need to know', the gas gauge is not a "wet" gauge. Its basically sits in a cup in the tank and does not come in contact with the gas. The sensor wire basically runs right through the bottom of the left tank. In my head, since I never did changed a fuel gauge before, my first impression was that the fluid level sensor was attached to this guage. It aint!

Without further adieu, a few pics...

Too bad the color isn't red to match the guages! My tach and speedo is backlit red, so blue would look a little goofy? Even the stock white looks weird.

Thanks! I have to agree. I'm a 'boob' guy just as much as the next guy, but 2 boobs on the tank just wasn't my thing. Flush looks much cleaner.
I think the cool thing about is when the power's off, it looks identical to the gas cap, just chrome. Not sure how they get the light to light up inside the gas gauge but nonethless, as Mr. magloo says, it's not matching red but still better looking than the stock boob.
I think I even might be getting 1 mpg more due to the reduced wind resistance!

Just a thought
Is it possible to change the colour of the speedo and tacho to blue to match the led's in the fuel gauge. I have
never had one to bits so I do not know if it has led's or bulbs in the the speedo and tacho.
On the other hand my springer SE 08 already has the red led's in the flush mount gauge,  but I do not know
if the profile would fit the deuce tank
